Really? Wow. I had the Sun eliminating the Lakers and clearing the path for that Net's championship.
I figured a LeBron/Lakers chip was the only thing that Silver might let happen over the Nets.
Well if something, this Lakers were not beating Nets under any circumstances, healthy AD or not. If they lose in the first round to Phoenix people should start asking themselves the same thing they do when Miami Heat is the conversation - can the Lakers really win outside of bubble? Toughest title - my a**. Damn respect LeBron, my a*s.
Put Paul aside because he's played half a game this series, this team is below 25 average. And AD has played 3 and half games healthy, CP3 has played half a game healthy and people acting like Suns are lucky.
If someone is beating Nets, its Utah. They play solid defence and they jack up threes. The same way Rockets almost beat Warriors and they would have if it wasn't... for CP3 health again. And they have clutch star in Donovan, not Harden. The problem is Utah will hardly beat Clippers.
But purely for Nets losing purpose, cheer for Jazz brother. Every other team in the West is getting annihilated.

Ainge is good but what kept him from being great was his inability to cash in his chips because of his greed. Ultimately it’s why his post-KG/Pierce/Allen failed.
I still think he would be great here if given the right opportunity and resources.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Kyrie ultimately destroys everything he touches - locker rooms, careers, etc.

You trade youth for vets when you have all your other pieces in. Say if Kawhi signs, then we can consider that deal. Otherwise, it is a bad move.

Celtics can take a step back and be fine. Lakers on the other hand are in a bad spot.

Hopefully all of this angers Tatum to the fullest and makes him our disgruntled target. Lol
